Here are some ways to get ready:
- Plan Your Sacrifice
- Attend Services
- Focus on Purpose
Use this time to grow closer to Jesus. Visit our Parish Lenten Website Page for resources to help you on your journey.
PARISH LENTEN RETREAT
DAY OF
PENANCE AND MERCY
The Sacrament of Penance during Lent is a profound way to engage in prayer, as it allows us to seek reconciliation with God, reflect on our sins and renew our commitment to spiritual growth during this sacred season.
The Diocese of Rochester has designated Tuesday, March 24, 2026 as a Diocesan Day of Penance and Mercy.
The following 7 parishes in our ROCS Catholics Northwest will offer extended opportunities for the Sacrament of Penance at the times shown below.
Every Friday night during Lent, we will pray the 14 Stations of the Cross in the main church.
The Stations of the Cross is one of the most simple, yet powerful, ways to prayerfully walk alongside Jesus and encounter him like never before. There are fourteen Stations of the Cross. Each is an invitation to contemplate and experience a pivotal moment from Jesus’ sentencing to his death to his burial.
Following the Stations of the Cross, Confessions will be heard in the room within the chapel.
LENTEN BOOK DISCUSSION
"SLOWING DOWN TO THE SPEED OF JOY" by Matthew Kelly
· This discussion will be offered two times each week throughout Lent; either Sunday from 9:45-10:45 or Tuesdays from 8:30-9:30.
· You can come either day and it does not have to be the same day each week. If you skip a week, that is okay.
· We will be meeting in the Church Library.
· Questions? Email Nancy Iafrati at:
